That awkward space between reality and reality television.

Rounds 3 and 4
For those of you keeping score at home, Prince William has added Sgt. Slaughter and Abdullah the Butcher with his 2nd and 3rd picks respectively, having already established "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase as his first selection. Taking the ultimate right hand man in Slaughter, he avoids the potential power struggle at the top, but I maintain that in this monumentous collision of good and evil that Mr. McMahon and The Nature Boy will find common ground.
Moving on to my own 3rd round pick, I am looking for braun over brains; a follower who can take care of the dirty work. The Iron Sheik would provide the perfect foil to Junior's "Real American Hero," but I'm afraid that something might get lost in the translation. I need someone who can take direction, and who better to take direction than one of the great actors of his time.
Not only was he the star of The Princess Bride, but at 7' 4" he provides ample physical power to make up for what could be lacking in my first two team members. That's right, I'm not afraid of bringing Goliath into this throw down. So with my third pick, I'll take Andre the Giant.
As for my fourth selection, my kneejerk reaction to The Butcher was to take "The Barber" as in Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake. Quickly, though, I realized this would be a wasted pick, and focused my attention to looking for a competitor that could go blow for blow with Abdullah with no concern for the inevitable bloodbath.
Some might argue that this wild man is impossible to control, but if anyone can put a leash on him, it would be my assembled team so far. While McMahon and Flair are gifted with silver tongues, he did his talking by chewing on turnbuckles and showing off his hairy back. Ok, Hitman, lets see you out-crazy George "The Animal" Steele.
Your move, Stoop.
